Dear gmx users,


I am MD simulation for heme ligated protein where i given all bond and angle, 
dihedral information in topology file created by pd2gmx ( gromos43a1).


However, i do not know how to interpret the proper and improper dihedrals in 
topology file? I have looked over the .rtp file and found that gromos mentioned 
like

example:


[ impropers ]
;  ai    aj    ak    al   gromos type
    C2    N1    N3   NA2     gi_1
   NA2  HA21  HA22    C2     gi_1
    N3    C2    C4   HA3     gi_1


But the the parameter  I use from literature where its in charmm and amber 
format as they mentioned the torsions like following way.


Improper
CPB-X-X-CR1E    90.0   0.0
CC - X-X-NB       18.3     0.0


...............etc


How do i use this improper to utilize in gromos?


Every force field has small differences in format. Look at ffbonded.itp for 43A1 and you will see #define statements that correspond to bonds (gb_*), angles (ga_*), etc. Those macros just mean "substitute this information here." It's shorthand. So either you can introduce a new definition in ffbonded.itp or just type the parameters in manually according to the format specified in the manual.
